Soggy Weekend 3/30/14

So this weekend we made our best attempt at keeping some progress going at the site. Had the weather been good the plan was to stand up some SIP panels. I think we'll be delayed a good 3-4 days for weather. As we'll need to dry off before we stand walls. Those of you who expressed interest in seeing the SIP panels go up. This Friday and Saturday we'll be doing just that. If you have some time to lend a hand for a couple hours feel free to come by!

On Saturday our work was cut short, I was fully soaked in about 2 hours even under 'cover'. Here are some pictures of what we did and of the conditions at the site. Some of the activites were finishing up screwing down the tiedowns in various locations, and putting up additional hangers for the joists.

Had a nice swimming pool in the mudroom

We spent Sunday cleaning up the mess and trying to get water out of places where there shouldn't be.
Fun stuff...

Not a lot of change from the Friday pics. But you can see the deck coming together on the side of the house. Some SIP panels sitting there in the background as well in case you were wondering what those were.
